Sofia Vergara missed the 2025 Emmy Awards due to a severe eye allergy, which she publicly shared on Instagram, showing her swollen eye and hospital scene, humorously explaining she arrived at the ER instead of the ceremony.

Her absence was noted by fans and colleagues, with many wishing her a speedy recovery and expressing concern for her health, especially since she was scheduled to present at the event.

Vergara was replaced by Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow, who stepped in to present an award while she recovered in the hospital.

Despite her health issues, Vergara remains active in her career, with upcoming projects like Netflix’s 'Griselda,' and fans are eager to see her return to the red carpet.

The 2025 Emmys, hosted by Nate Bargatze at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, celebrated major wins for Netflix's 'Adolescence,' which took home six awards including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.

The ceremony also highlighted historic milestones, such as Tramell Tillman becoming the first Black actor to win Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and Owen Cooper as the youngest winner in Supporting Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series.

Notable moments included CBS's 'The Late Show' winning Outstanding Talk Series and a standing ovation for the show's team, along with special performances like the 40th anniversary of The Golden Girls.

Overall, the event celebrated numerous winners and milestones, with some high-profile absences due to health issues, and included memorable moments like Jesse Williams presenting his first award since revealing his ALS diagnosis.

The lineup of presenters featured stars such as Elizabeth Banks, Angela Bassett, and Sydney Sweeney, whose inclusion sparked some controversy among social media users.

Despite the absences, the Emmy Awards proceeded smoothly, with other stars and notable moments, including a humorous behind-the-scenes mishap where Seth Rogen's name was misspelled on his seat assignment.

Vergara, who has been nominated five times for Emmys including for her role in 'Modern Family' and more recently for 'Griselda,' has yet to win the award, but her career remains strong.

Her health incident occurred only months after undergoing knee surgery in July 2025, highlighting ongoing health challenges, but she arrived at the hospital dressed casually, with her hair and makeup done.
